I Touched Disney’s HoloTile Floor: Inside the Imagineering Lab

I could see a Haunted Mansion style attraction using the HoloTile where you are told to walk forward through a hallway to the next room, but suddenly it feels like you are not making any progress while the walls in front of you stretch out into an infinite hallway with a mirror illusion.

That HoloTile Walk Pad is a GAME CHANGER for VR/AR gaming & office applications!

Holotile is groundbreaking invention for full vr experience

Lanny has been working at Disney for only 24 years. Within that time, he invented the process for BB-8 to work, the bluetooth game, and REAL LIGHTSABERS. Dude is only 68, and I have no doubt he is going to top himself.

As often as Disney frustrates me with their theme park pricing and huge crowds, I find these technologies to be incredibly inspiring and magical. It would be nice if the Walt Disney company has a whole could try to reframe their products and experiences to better fit the budget of the average family.

This lady is cool! I like her presentation style. It's too bad we couldn't see her enjoying this stuff live. That would have been magical.

The mouse done did it again this will be a gamer changer for VR and AR

Disney has always been the top notch industry in mixing cutting edge technology with a great feeling of satisfaction. Great for them. I love how innovative Imagineering can be.

Please more of this!!

Ah, so it's Disney that starts Westworld

I like her authenticity and excitement. 😊

Thats actually pretty cool.

moving walkways that increase your speed no matter what direction you wanna go

Lanny Smoot is a genius inventor and beautiful human being; his contributions to the world of entertainment and joy are almost unparalleled, and I truly hope he is discussed more, as he is a landmark person and a cultural heritage! Holo Tiles are game changer technology that can be used in a plethora of industries and use cases. As much as I hope they are deployed and succeed in the entertainment industries, at Disney parks/resorts and theater, I hope they also get used for TV and film production too! More so, the benefits to VR at home and at installed venues would be mind blowing, and can further increase immersion. Yet, going much further, I hope to see Holo Tiles used within the health and workout industries, especially for those who are differently abled, have disabilities, and/or suffer health issues such as neurological diseases or age-related issues. To give people powerful new tools to help their health, or be able to move easier, would be close to miraculous to current solutions available. I also think holo tiles would be a brilliant replacement of treadmills, Depending on how the technology can be adapted (if necessary). More Lanny Smoot and Disney Imagineering content please!

Surely the holo tile is the ultimate exercise treadmill space saver. The applications for this could be huge, imagine a warehouse moving goods across the floor. Those robots are incredible, surely it's time to get them in the home to assist with day to day jobs!

Flip the tiles upside down and make a new form of transportation. Put them on my shoes so I can glide across the floor. Could also be used on a warehouse floor.

Love the extra detail on the HoloTiles i've been waiting to hear how they work. That's so cool!

The (Ready Player One) Oasis is coming soon.

Yeah, AR/VR would be amazing with this! The ability to move safely about means you can move in those environments Apple Vision Pro has. Make them able to be explored a bit. It could also be used for exercise like a treadmill but far more portable and easier to handle. Imagine jogging or walking thru any imagined or real environment with a AR/VR device on.

This is the first time in a long time Disney has earned the public's attention. Bravo!
